But it\u2019s more like an invitation for potential subscribers, calling them to join your group for what you can offer in your channel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here we mean the channel description on the About page on YouTube. Channel descriptions show in YouTube search result. It means that your description has a big chance to get viewers clicking through the YouTube searcher, especially when your channel name includes your topic.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1105\" height=\"245\" src=\"https:\/\/www.makeyoutubevideo.com\/learning-center\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/top-music-world.png\" alt=\"top music world\" class=\"wp-image-746\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.makeyoutubevideo.com\/learning-center\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/top-music-world.png 1105w, https:\/\/www.makeyoutubevideo.com\/learning-center\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/top-music-world-768x170.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1105px) 100vw, 1105px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The same as the video description, which can also show in the keyword search results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1175\" height=\"230\" src=\"https:\/\/www.makeyoutubevideo.com\/learning-center\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/youtube-movie-maker.png\" alt=\"youtube movie maker\" class=\"wp-image-749\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.makeyoutubevideo.com\/learning-center\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/youtube-movie-maker.png 1175w, https:\/\/www.makeyoutubevideo.com\/learning-center\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/youtube-movie-maker-768x150.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1175px) 100vw, 1175px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to write a great description for a YouTube channel?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In other words, how could you attract viewers to click through after reading your description?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are 6 key points to help create a great channel description, getting the targeted group of people interested in your content at the first sight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Keep the beginning brief but information-rich<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A solid rule of writing all kinds of descriptions is keeping it as specific and brief as possible. And the benefits of watching the videos of this channel go first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, a description with \u201cTutorial Videos help beginners solve all problems in video-editing\u201d sounds much better instead of \u201cWe create many tutorials on how to edit videos for YouTubers. They are detailed and clearly-explained, especially for beginners on YouTube.\u201d&nbsp;Because it is short but powerful and includes all key points, such as the main topic of the channel, video type and target group. However, we\u2019d better welcome or greet your viewers first. \u201cWelcome to Easy Make Video&#8230;\u201d or \u201cHey, it\u2019s Easy Make Video&#8230;\u201d and then jump into the main subject.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Pay attention to the first 25 words<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Putting the most important information first in front of the description, like keyword phrases of the channel, is a practical writing approach used in journalistic writing. And then focus on less important stuff such as a brief introduction of the current video or the related links of channel content. But for sure that the first 25 words make more sense because it was shown in YouTube search results whether in a specific topic search or channel search.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1105\" height=\"236\" src=\"https:\/\/www.makeyoutubevideo.com\/learning-center\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Jack-Cole.png\" alt=\"Jack Cole\" class=\"wp-image-745\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.makeyoutubevideo.com\/learning-center\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Jack-Cole.png 1105w, https:\/\/www.makeyoutubevideo.com\/learning-center\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Jack-Cole-768x164.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1105px) 100vw, 1105px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3.&nbsp;Find keywords\/keyword phrases in YouTube searching suggest<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A good way to find ideal keywords\/keyword phrases on YouTube is to fully use YouTube searching suggest. Typing in a keyword or phrase and you\u2019ll see a lot of recommended searching results that your real viewers are actually searching for. This is a powerful and reliable feature since YouTube is the second biggest searching site in spite of Google.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Take \u201cvideo editing\u201d for example, phrases related to \u201cvideo editing\u201d, like video editing software is searching by most real users currently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"788\" height=\"665\" src=\"https:\/\/www.makeyoutubevideo.com\/learning-center\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/video-editing-search-results.png\" alt=\"video editing search results\" class=\"wp-image-747\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.makeyoutubevideo.com\/learning-center\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/video-editing-search-results.png 788w, https:\/\/www.makeyoutubevideo.com\/learning-center\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/video-editing-search-results-768x648.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 788px) 100vw, 788px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, you can use third-party tools like Vid IQ or two-body.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Announce your topic and video type<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Announce your video topic and video type clearly in the channel description. So your channel can be quickly discovered by targeted people and impressed those with interests. Be sure of it as specific as possible like Yoga Tutorial for Office Staff, or something like how-to videos in video-editing. Anyway, remember to mention all that in your YouTube channel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"970\" height=\"192\" src=\"https:\/\/www.makeyoutubevideo.com\/learning-center\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Fireship.png\" alt=\"Fireship\" class=\"wp-image-744\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.makeyoutubevideo.com\/learning-center\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Fireship.png 970w, https:\/\/www.makeyoutubevideo.com\/learning-center\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Fireship-768x152.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 970px) 100vw, 970px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>As this channel description, information includes the video type \u201ctutorial\u201d, the video topic \u201ccode\u201d, the targeted group \u201cbeginners to write app\u201d and what you can get from this channel. It\u2019s really a great example of the first 25 words in the description. BUT adding a greeting at the beginning is the icing on the cake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5.&nbsp;Upload a video schedule<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Upload a schedule is to tell your subscribers when to come back and what the next video is about. You can make a detailed note like this, writing a weekly video schedule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"842\" height=\"416\" src=\"https:\/\/www.makeyoutubevideo.com\/learning-center\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/video-schedule-example.png\" alt=\"video schedule example\" class=\"wp-image-748\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.makeyoutubevideo.com\/learning-center\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/video-schedule-example.png 842w, https:\/\/www.makeyoutubevideo.com\/learning-center\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/video-schedule-example-768x379.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 842px) 100vw, 842px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Or you can inform them your regular video schedule in several sentences like let your ears know that we\u2019ll publish new videos on writing tips every Tuesday and Friday and turn on the subscribe button so that you won\u2019t miss them. However, make sure your schedule is feasible because it&#8217;s important to stay consistent.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6.&nbsp;Remember the call-to-action<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Call the description viewers to take action after showing attracting information that they have interests in. Call-to-action is the last part of a channel description but the crucial step to examine whether your description works or not. Reminding people to subscribe to your button and turn on the notifications is a perfect period for a channel description.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Actually, some of the successful channels have no description or an extremely simple description. And it seems not to affect them to be popular. Undoubtedly, if your video content is good enough to battle with them, you needn\u2019t care about the description. Being a big star on YouTube is only a time question. But are you sure about it?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>None of the famous YouTubers would care about how to write a description, but beginners would. And most ordinary big YouTubers start as beginners. Make their every step solid so they get today\u2019s achievements.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you find our content interesting or helpful, welcome to share it with your friends.
